My niece bought the new Trax with the 1.2L turbo. She drove it from LI to Lexington KY. Had no problems whatsoever driving over the mountains of MD and WV at 70mph and tank averages were 39-41mpg. Better acceleration than other cute utes, too. If the 2.5 turbo is calibrated the same way, I'd buy one in a heartbeat.
Love that they changed the cup holders for 2nd row folks! Moved from the door and made that perfect spot for a phone. I am not a big fan of taking away all the buttons tho. Such a safety hazard. I can see the traction control but when my toddler is being a turd I wanna be able to hit that button fast to stop her from rolling down a window in 0 degrees 😂 definitely don't like the gear shift situation either. They hit a home run with that front end tho! I have a 2018 so it's interesting to see what changed. Awesome video Sir!
Dave. i must have watched over 100 reviews of the new Traverse in the past month and i have to say by far not even close your review was the most thorough and in detail of the features on this vehicle ,you are a terrific salesmen and i thoroughly enjoy your channel ,its my favorite ! Keep up the good work !
We're coming up on 80k miles on our 2018 Traverse. Bought it with 30k miles. Been an amazing family hauler for our family of five. The highway gas mileage over a full size SUV is a killer feature with these and is not talked about enough. I'd order an LT with black out package and upgrade to the evotex if I were buying one.
I love the look of the new Traverse. It is funny how the buttons you mentioned that are in the screen that we really do not need all the time. So many have complained about that and I find it no big deal
I love the new body style. I have a 2023 RS, and I love it! It’ll be awhile before I trade it off, but i do like the changes to the 2024. Great video. Thank you 😊
I haven't seen it in person yet but based on videos and pics I think GM hit a home run with the styling of this new Traverse! It looks like a grown up Trailblazer with that same C-pillar treatment and slightly more boxy, rugged shape which looks great! Thanks for talking about the buttons... Makes so much sense to put rarely used controls on the screen while keeping physical buttons for the things you use a lot. GM gets it! And it's impressive what they can get out of a 4-banger now! Great detailed review, Dave!
It's quite an impressive offering, but I'll have to wait and see durability/reliabilty data before considering. GM does not have a great reliability reputation, and I'll have to see how the new engines do.
Really like what they did with the dash layout really clean look, the only thing im not liking is the column shifter, when every vehicle i own and have owned that stalk is for the Wipe Wash. So i see myself initially tapping that stalk with my finger for the WW and messing the shifting LOL
I LOVE the column shifter. It frees up the space in the center counsel. Cannot understand why it is so hard for some people to accept change. Oh, very scary, a column shifter!!!
@@trumpisastump9382it’s not that it’s on the column that I don’t like. If it was a regular shift it would be great. But the fact that it’s an electronic shifter that you just press up or down seems flimsy to me plus that is where I’m used to the wiper stalk to be. This is just my opinion, if you like it good for you. Just don’t ridicule anyone that doesn’t agree with you.😃
Dave, when are you taking orders for the new 2025 Equinox RS AWD? The Traverse is VERY NICE!!!! GREAT Video!!!! Looking forward to seeing a Traverse and the 2025 Equinox live and in person. PS - your getting shaggy - time for a summer buzz cut - LOL
Frustrating that manufacturers keep removing the physical buttons for heated and cooled seats. Something that is as frequently used as heated seats should be a physical button.
Love the channel love your videos With the engines you described me perfectly I have to have a V8 I have to have a V6 four cylinder turbos are not bad the problem is I don't care what brand you have I've never seen anybody riding around with any size turbo all original with 100,000 plus miles on it. So for now it's great but I'm worried about longevity. I was laughing they removed my headlight switch I'm somebody who uses it every day. Every time I get in the car because I hate daytime running lights so in the daytime I turned them off. And if the Sun is just rising or setting I like to just put on the parking lights with the fog lights. Wishing GM and yourself a lot of success with this vehicle. I currently Drive a 4 cylinder Chevy turbo and so far so good but there's only 40,000 Miles on it so time will tell.
I see a problem with operating the transmission on the column .. appears to be complex .. and people will be driving in the wrong gear which greatly damages the Transmission. I can't image what kind of issues will occur at Car Rental Agencies .. with all new drivers renting these . Also I love to turn and off the headlights manually .. to insure they are on , front and back lights. There are so many people driving at night with the wrong lights on and no Taillights . I love knobs and control to turn on and off in front of me , not in a screen / computer. I can also see accidents occurring as people are going to be looking for these features in the screen etc. I have a 23 Honda and really dislike not having knobs to change my radio station instead of going to the screen pushing the up and down bottom .. why can 't they just have a dial , like the volume dial to change stations.
I guess I’m one of those guys who don’t like 4 cylinder engines, prefer a V-8 but you can’t find them anymore. I do like the Traverse but would like a few extra options, mainly leather, Bose sound system , just not sure what the MSRP would be on that model.
2.5 L is a pretty big 4 cylinder especially with turbo! The importance is to maintain your oil changes in these engines. Pretty foolproof if you take care of it
Hahaha motorcycles rarely has 2000cc let alone 2500ccs of displacement if this car got v8 or v6 you will probably complain about something else like fuel economy so the best solution is you ride a scooter🤣
Dave appreciate the update Gm diffenly step there interior ,but will technolg hold up time will tell love my 2023 Silverado with baby dramas see what happens in 3 years if I keep it or trade it in tim from li
The Z71 looks great. I have to admit I really like the design. I'm just worried about the reliability. I'm coming off of a Jeep Grand Cherokee that has spent over a year of my ownership in the shop of the some of the worst dealers I've ever been to. Yes, I know it's not a GM made car and that MOPAR has terrible reliability. However, my last GM car was a 1987 Pontiac Fiero GT. Yeah..... I'm still going to look at it though. Also the lack of the window lock out and lights buttons is very, very annoying. I actually use them quite frequently.....EDIT: Wait...I see they're all easily available and not buried in menus. I still want a button for the lights but the others are fine like that.
I have to disagree that newer engines are better … I’ve had a 2009 impala and 08 cobalt with the 3.5l and 2.2l and both were fantastic even with CEL down the rd. Newer cars break down pretty often
The one thing I disliked about this car is the transmission selector. People always shat on Ford's Dial or the Button Select, but having those controls on the same stick that most cars would have wiper controls on makes me nervous of the possibility of putting the car on netural on accident when you wanted to operate the wipers mid-drive. Other than that, it's a GM product.
The 2.7L (L3B) was designed for longitudinal applications and had to be re-engineered for transverse mounting. The 2.5L (LK0) is really just a downsized version of the L3B. Why it lost 200cc in the process; for different tuning objectives? I haven’t a clue?
It’s all good until the screen goes out. Rather GM focus on a better drivetrain than worry about a bigger distracting screen. Transmission’s and engine quality is what matters.
I think some manufacturers have turbo tech figured out. Seems like GM did. Mazda and Toyota did too, they are good. Ford on the other hand… not too sure lol I wouln’t touch Hyundai and Kia turbo engines.
As much as i love technology....i cant wait 5 years when something breaks and instead of a $30 light switch we will get hit with a $4500 touchscreen....brilliant. ill stick to older cars and upgrade to a real stereo system anyways

Pretty sure the GM strike last fall was the delay. They made the 2024 Traverse limited for a couple months which was just a 2023 carry over before starting production on these.
@@DaveBsellsChevy Great review! Thanks for the thorough detailing! So…I am waiting on my 2024 Traverse LT. WHEN WILL THESE BE AVAILABLE?! It’s frustrating not getting an answer from anyone here at Chevy. “The strike delayed them” is the only answer I get. So again, when will these be available to the public?! I’m hearing September. Please tell me that I am wrong…..
I just keep on wondering is chevy trying to copy toyota highlander cause everything the new design just everything from the front end and back end looks like the toyota highlander and infotainments screen trying to copy or be like toyota wow never thought chevy would go that route.
Toyota has recently suffered greatly from using turbos in their Tacomas and Tundras. The bottom line is turns do not have longevity and are not as reliable. I have a 2016 Traverse with the 3.6 200,000 miles. I would not purchase this vehicle.
Using a screen is much slower than manipulate a button instead of going into a screen which is dangerous while you are driving.It is probably smart but impossible to do while driving.I have got a screen in my car but it is much easier to use .The screens get bigger and bigger and some cars have a screen for the passenger next to you or the passenger seat .Ford has problems with their 2.7 l eco boost. Chevrolet has had a better reputation than Ford.
Junky vehicle with sleazy Chevy salesman. Eight speed transmission with federal class action lawsuit against it. Direct injected untested turbo engine that is not enough to carry four people and luggage. They get rid of buttons and vinyl. Get a Honda Pilot with V6, real leather, and no turbos.
Idk what it is about this guy but I like watching his videos. Go Dave!
LT midnight might be the sweet spot, the RS & Z71 look great as well.
Thanks for your update.
My favorite video; your New Jersey “button” accent cracks me up every time. Love you Dave,
thanks for sharing love your viedos.
I like the ledge in the front of the infotainment screen too. I have that in my Buick Envista
Great content!❤

it definitely reminds me of a mini Tahoe.. great job Dave on explaining and showing what the vehicle has to offer!
Wish the oil seals for the 3.6 GM (rear main) were better. Have had constant leaks on the 2018 xt5 in our family

Any word on blazer ev ss trim? When is it coming out?
Hey! how do you customize the driver dash screen tiles on either side of the speedometer. Can you? I can’t figure it out on my new traverse.
i have to give GM credit, they put a lot of effort into this Traverse and it shows. i'm sure it'll sell
So remote start and power lift gate are standard?
My neighbour traded her 2011 Traverse LT for the 2024 RS model I actually like the new design specially the interior
We have a 2020 Buick Encor and have automatic lights but they don't come on when it's raining so I have to turn them on!!!!
Any wall tree updates?
looks interesting. as long as its not over msrp think i might go check 1 out
cant wait to see a video of the silverado EV when you guys get one in
I believe Dave ordered one for himself.
Has the interior space grown with the redesign
Hello Dave. Where can I find a 2024 Traverse LT, black, and all wheel drive and with that leather looking material you mentioned.
GM is making great vehicles; always made great engines so this one of them (2.5l turbo 4C)
Does the center screen facing the driver make it more difficult for the passenger to use it?
It's quite an impressive offering, but I'll have to wait and see durability/reliabilty data before considering. GM does not have a great reliability reputation, and I'll have to see how the new engines do.
Besides no leather and adaptive cruise of course but it still has pretty good standard features
Loving this Dave, when will if ever, GM bring any plug in hybrids? I would buy this one in a sec if it was a PHEV.
Our police station just got a brand new suburban,with that front end,thing is lit up like 4 Christmas trees,but looks tough as hell

Just how much more space is in the Tahoe vs the Traverse?
Do you have Google???
any option to make the gold chevy logo black?
Always can add black logos to any vehicle. Just have to pay extra.
that high pillar,in the back looks like a bad blind spot blocker

@@1225328 I also agree. The transmission on the column is a little too complex.
The column mounted shifter is too "complex"???? If you have an IQ under 75 you probably shouldn't be driving anyway.
Super odd question- but does it have LED Reverse lights? Nothing drives me nuts more than a non uniform LED light set up! Great content!
Great question and it does!
Hi Dave - Enjoy the content. Do you know when the ‘25 Tahoe will start hitting the lots?
hopefully by late fall early winter

Its funny as I was saying that I was thinking Trax/Trailblazer because we are now hearing I don't want a 3 cylinder I want a 4
But you should still have a physical switch
Nobody wants to pay so much for a motorcycle/scooter engine, but people need to test it and be amazed to this today technology.
One of them people who mad the smaller engines are becoming more powerful than the big v8 and small v6
Then don’t get it 🤦🏽♂️ people just be complaining just to complain. Plenty other choices to choose from big guy
2.5 L is a pretty big 4 cylinder especially with turbo! The importance is to maintain your oil changes in these engines. Pretty foolproof if you take care of it

Other brands have 2025 model year vehicles on the lot.
I asked the same question. I was told because of the strike production fell behind

Great video. I am not hearing you speak much about either Hybrid Chevy vehicles or Plug-In Hybrid Chevy vehicles. Thoughts?
There aren't any hybrids to talk about
Chevy needs to drop their prices in half , for people to buy vehicles again!
I have to disagree that newer engines are better … I’ve had a 2009 impala and 08 cobalt with the 3.5l and 2.2l and both were fantastic even with CEL down the rd. Newer cars break down pretty often
A sample size of 2. Statistics be damned, I had a personal experience!!
The traction control button in my Bolt gets used almost daily, just not intentionally. It is in a real bad spot.
The one thing I disliked about this car is the transmission selector. People always shat on Ford's Dial or the Button Select, but having those controls on the same stick that most cars would have wiper controls on makes me nervous of the possibility of putting the car on netural on accident when you wanted to operate the wipers mid-drive.

Exactly why I am Amish in approaching transportation. Just sticking with my horse and buggy.
I still prefer the Z71
I wouldn’t buy a four-cylinder Chevy engine if my life dependent on it.
It still looks like a minivan and not truck like at all
I priced one with same features as my 2022. $7000 more and you don’t get that hidden capartment. 😂
But there are more features than the 2022 plus full re-design
Who sold the C8s of the past video? 👋🏻
They are both still available
I don't care what he's sellin' he could switch brands I'd watch I think
why would they release a new design 2024 in May instead of making it a 2025 model?
Pretty sure it was supposed to come out earlier but the GM Strike last fall delayed things. We also have the 2024 Traverse Limited which was basically a carry over 2023 model.
I like the size and comfort. Found 4cyl is lacking from stop and sounds like my lawn mower. Will pass.

How many people are useing that fake triptronic shift? Either on the column or in center gear shift. Let's get rid of it. Waste of money.
